An illustration shows a rectangle that extends to a smaller rectangle at the bottom left. The length of the bottom rectangle is much lesser on the right. The dimensions are as follows: The larger rectangle shows the right side as 4, truncated bottom length as 3, and left side end to end as 5 including the extended rectangle. The smaller rectangle shows the bottom length as 2. There are 5 right angled symbols to show the perpendicular lines of the two rectangles.

To find the area of the composite figure, we need to find the area of each individual rectangle and then add them together.

The larger rectangle has a length of 5 units and a width of 4 units. The area of the larger rectangle is 5 x 4 = 20 square units.

The smaller rectangle has a length of 3 units and a width of 2 units. The area of the smaller rectangle is 3 x 2 = 6 square units.

To find the area of the composite figure, we add the areas of the two rectangles together: 20 + 6 = 26 square units.

Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 26 square units.
